I think Marill is kind of representing a naiad- a water nymph; specifically of fresh water such as rivers, brooks etc.. Though it looks like a round mouse :P it and Azumarill have traits of being heavily associated with freshwater- in terms of rivers etc. I believe. That would kind of make sense I suppose- when compared to other existing Water types.

Jigglypuff, well, I can't really argue against it :P I it like a balloon/pudding spirit- which is quite Fairylike and odd I suppose- and it is partially associated with the moon (moon stone) but not as much as Clefairy.

Clefairy HAS to be retyped to pure Fairy! Anyone with me? Having it as normal/fairy would be odd because if anything warrants pure Fairy it is Clefairy and Clefable. Also, it would be nice for it to diverge away from Jigglypuff's line

Here is my idea. Gardevoir is a Psychic/Fairy type with a decent special attack stat. Hydregion is Dark/Dragon type and it is shown that they are battling at the same level, LV.50. If Gardevoir used Fairy Wind in order to attack the Hyderigon, which has a great special attack, it would have KO'd Hydregion, considering Fairy type is both super effective to Dragon and Dark. However, unlikely, it is seen that after the attack Hydreigon has around 50-55 HP with yellow-orange coloured HP bar. I don't think if a x4 type of attack would leave this amount of HP after it is used. So,

Either Fairy Wind has very low power or Dark is not super effected by Fairy Types.

I think that they're going to re-type a lot of Pokemon. The low amount in Gen II made sense because there was only 151 before it. The competitive scene was also the main reasoning for Fairy's strength over Dragons. More fairys will change the metagame further.

a few i disagree with i don't think zoroark or zorua i think they'll stay pure dark. I also have doubts over minun and plusle and the togepi line(until we see otherwise i'm sticking with the asumption that only single typed pokemon will gain the fairy type.).But otherwise the rest seem plausible.

I bolded the one's i don't think will happen. All the other i could see happening, with Pachirisu i think an Electric/Fairy evo would be quite good for the little fella

I personally feel whimsicott is a prime candidate- being pure Grass currently: it has many Fairy like aspects to it's design, abilities and dex entries- and it would totally learn Fairy wind :P

With speculation that Mawile will gain Fairy type- I suspect Misdreavus' line to get it too- because both are based on similiar Japanese 'Fairy tales' about seemingly normal women/people with strange secrets (a mouth on the back of their head and a head that detaches itself at night to float around and spook people :P)- so with that in mind I think it would be nice, also to allow Misdreavus something to stand out from other Pure Ghost types now- as that distinction it once held (for one generation :P) has been swept away

Actually I think I might do a bit of a U-turn on Pachirisu; for Plusle and Minun. Though all three could happen that might be nice.

I think Fairy wind is a straight variation of Silver Wind, which isn't too powerful.

But still... 90 power with stab, 2x super effective (possibly 4x), put that with gardevoirs special attack... I would go for maybe 40 power for fairy wind?

Maybe that Gardevoir had it's power dropped or something? Not being contrary mate- but we don't the rest of the effects in play at the time.

It seems it would make sense as a variation- I could even imagine it sharing animations with Silver and Ominous but different colours. It could be a lower base power though- but personally, to me, that would seem a little odd :P I dunno why.

So, what do you think will be name of Arceus' plate for Fairy-type? Or any possible items that could be associate with Fairies?

I think something like Fey plate or Sprite plate? That seems how the others are roughly done- with a semantically linked word. I think the boosting Fairy item could be something like Fairy Dust- cliche yes, but they could still do it haha :P

Maybe a bit yeah :P I'm not going to lie, I am clutching at straws there- but that makes sense to me at least- Marill being more 'spirit' like than other water types. maybe not though.

Same It wouldn't have such a big impact on the family as a whole- and it would have Gardevoir as nice counterpart to Gallade. (I know they already are, but then they'd both hold a second type but evolve from pure types)

I'd love to see Cherubi and Cherrim get retyped, but I don't see it possible. As for the legendaries, I don't think any of the current legendaries, namely Celebi and Victini, are going to get retyped. But we'll have to see.

Anyways, with my list, they'll only have to retype 11 evolution lines. How Mawile can be considered fairy is beyond me though.

In bold are the ones I think not..

I was certainly surprised with the pokemon they chose to demonstrate the fairy type other than Sylveon. The most pleasant surprise for me is the fact that Gardevoir is now part-Fairy, which I hoped it would be but was afraid it would be unlikely. The biggest surprise is that Marill got the part-Fairy typing, something I didn't expect at all. Of all the pokemon in the Fairy egg group, Marill is one of the pokemon with fewest obvious connections to fairies (along with Pikachu & Shroomish), so I believed it would stay pure Water. I also wonder if Azurill will get Normal/Fairy. Having that said, I hope Marill can learn some strong physical Fairy moves, to go along with the ability Huge Power.

It's also kinda surprising that Clefairy wasn't among these first four Fairy-type pokemon. It should be one of the most obvious candidates for a Fairy-type addition.

The one I personally hope most for to get the Fairy type is Milotic. I also hope that GF won't shy away from retconning typings of certain legendaries. In the case of Celebi and Victini, changing their Psychic-type to Fairy-type. Fairy-type would be more fitting based on both their appearances and their abilities than the Psychic-type ever was.

To draw a parallel to other rpgs the fairy type seems ascociated more with arcane or c osmic forces (ie external forces) differentiating it to psyschic ie psionics that is inherent "power of the mind"
Also explains the effectivness against dragons as enchanted "fairy magic " weaponry is often part of how the dragon is defwated like Siegfried slaying Fafner with a sword made from a meteor (cosmiic power)
